I wanted to buy this machine over a year ago… but the seller wouldn’t come down on the price and at the same time I found my PR 138-C…. I was happy with the machine, besides the fact it needed major electrical restoration. I got a message from the other guy this past week and he said he needed it gone and came down a lot on the price. So I drove today and picked it up!
It has one bad tube…. But otherwise everything seems to work. Once I find another UX-210 tube, I can post an update on it. I didn’t get any pictures of it while I had it turned on. When I get the amp running, I’ll send the pickup off to be rebuilt
Here’s some pics!

Will this be a photo of the Brunswick display at The Zavracky Phonograph Museum in it's infancy?

Re: Newest addition: Brunswick Pr 148-C
I am really thinking about starting a serious brunswick phonograph collection when I graduate college. If I wasn't broke (I gotta stop buying phonographs ) and out of space I would snag up that Brunswick Hampton not too far away.
I am super excited to have it.
Cheers

Beautiful! I still need to get around to doing work on the Brunswick Panatrope 42 changer that belonged to my wife’s godmother. Let’s see—I only need to fix the changer AND the radio.

I had been watching that one on Facebook. Glad someone saved it. It looks very nice!

Re: Newest addition: Brunswick Pr 148-C
it is really nice. It seems like Brunswick Finishes aged really well; all I did to it before it was brought into the house was wipe off the dust on it. I haven't used any GOJO or anything else on it.
The only thing that bothers me is that it's taller than both the Cortez and 138-c. OH well

Nice machine! Perhaps you can post a video of it playing a Brunswick record.

When I get it running and the pickup is rebuilt I will. I have some good 20’s Brunswick’s that will be perfect for this machine

Quite a beautiful collection of Brunswick's. The walnut veneers are really excellent. Congratulations.
